AutumnSun's Fresca

If you are curious to know... Aika is a 'love song' in Japanese, and it is pronounced 'AH-ee-ka' or if it is easier -- 'EYE-ka'. Aika is the paternal half sister to our Special K, a multiple champion fawn dam of our many time champion Black Maelstrom. She is out of Song, who has lingering fiber quality and had produced a slew of excellent dams (and an occasional herdsire) for us over the years. Song has also produced black more than once, and those dark genes have been passed on to Aika who has had her own black crias. Aika's light fawn girl, Fresca, sired by the multiple champion Matrix son Red Granite's Mr. Ben Franklin, boasted a luxurious, shiny fleece with a staple past our hand length and a crimp all the way to her skin! After being shorn, we were really impressed with her regrowth of even more beautiful fiber that was delicious to handle. Fresca, had a worthy show career with banners earned before producing first a black male in 2021 with spectacular fleece and the our very nice 2023 fawn girl named Champagne Bubbles that stole everyone's heart, so much so that she not only secured her spot in our reducing herd but her dam's as well. Then Aika honed her breeding skills on her white male cria by the white Accoyo America Seneca Warrior. Aika showed herself to be a really great mom with this second cria that quickly exceeded all the other crias that year in growth rate and overall weight /size. He sold as a juvie. With Axios, our fawn herdsire with grey lineage, she produced... well, a beige/LF ;). But it is often said that fawns often still have the genetics for grey though they themselves are expressing as a light. This 2021 well-developed girl grew fast under Aika's devoted attention as a juvie and solidly filling out as a yearling. Carolina has the capacity to be a good breeder. She will be bred in 2023. Aika produced another beautiful cria - a black girl by our champion black Dark Secret! Producing black when bred to black, not a bad trait to have in a dark breeding program. Mina has a nice crimp, density, and brightness. She is big enough that she almost was bred in 2023, but we don't mind waiting. For her 2023 breeding, Aika has been exposed to our AOA black fleece champion, AutumnSun's Guinness. This black male is the son of our multiple champion black dam Red Granites Molly whose other offspring have sold to Austria and Poland. He has produce lovely black crias, so with Aika's propensity to throw black when bred to black we have high hopes for a beautiful black cria in 2024! She is proven and bred as confirmed by ultrasound, which fills her breeding warranty. Her breeding will have a live cria guarantee. Certificate transfer, exam, and transportation are buyer costs with a month free agisting to arrange transportation.
